This division really blows.
The Mariners have played like shite and they're 1/2 game out of first. Anaheim and Oakland have the injury excuse. If our GM wasn't so monumentally stupid, we'd be comfortably on top right now. I hope that dufus dies in a fire. Without the crap call at second we'd have lost 4 in a row and five of six. 85 wins will probably be enough this year. Too bad we won't even be close.

The pythag numbers say we should blow.

If Weaver is struggling when Felix comes back

That presumes Felix will return soon

Just keep him away

you can't equate the two
Weaver is a 5th starter on a 1yr contract and a sucky track record. He won't leave the team, but don't expect him to stay in the rotation when Felix comes back. Unless he gets better and Ho Ram gets worse, which is entirely possible.

Well, let's see
The rotation when Felix comes back is:
King Felix
4th Starter (Batista)
4th Starter (Washburn)
Replacement Level starters: whoever's around between Baek, HoRam and Weaver
We're still bound and determined to play a horrible DH every day.
Raul's looking like he might have Boone-Olerud Disease. So is Richie.
Oh, and the team's 20th in MLB in OPS, with the only upside being we're competitive with the rest of the division in having a crappy, impatient and bad offense so far.
Yeah, this team could gut out an 83-79 division winning record...but realistically, this team hasn't improved collectively from 2006. It's more a matter that the division sucks... and with a touch of bad luck, this could be a 75-87 team.
See, the thing is I'm not optimistic this group of clown can actually find a serviceable replacement for Weaver who'd be a reasonable option in the rotation, which is what they really need.

I don't know what's going to happen.
Add in some selective injuries, and the team WON'T be better.
